I bought "What Makes a Man Start Fires" the day it came out, on a 
whim, I was a Black Flag fan at the time, and it was on SST so it 
hadda be cool. Kicked my ass! I cried when I learned D. Boon died. 
Man, I loved that band. I remember seeing a photo of Charlie Haden 
jamming with them in an old punk fanzine, maybe Maximum Rock 'n 
Roll?, made me think that the 2 musics I loved at the time, Punk and 
Avant Garde jazz, were not that far apart.
